About this listen
The tale of a young Green Beret medic, Vietnam combat veteran with the top secret Studies and Observations Group (SOG) who was recruited by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
Schofield worked five and a half years providing medical support for the Hmong and other Hill Tribes who fought the CIA’s secret war in Northern Laos, and was among the last Americans to leave SE Asia in May 1975.
It was a surreal time and place that would be impossible to even imagine today.
“Schofiled’s book reflects a genuine love for the Hmong and their culture, as well as a vast knowledge of their efforts during our ‘secret war’ in Laos in the 1960s and 1970s. Read and learn some actual facts; not overblown rhetoric from another barstool hero.” (Stephen R. Leopold, colonel, SF, USA, ret.)
“Schofield’s book will be a welcome, informative addition to recent books released on the early days of Green Beret history in Southeast Asia. De Oppresso Liber." (John Stryker Meyer, author of SOG Chronicles, Across the Fence, and On the Ground)

More of a biography than I expected but still interesting
The book is the author’s life story with a focus on his time in Laos. I listened to it because I’m currently travelling in Laos and wanted to learn more of its history. This book gave me parts of Laos’ wartime history through the various descriptions of Laos during the war and various anecdotes. It also spent a lot of time discussing various individuals the author knew and the author’s life before and after Laos, which was not what I was looking for but was still interesting.
